        Honestly there are some people who code that honestly I don’t know or even really care if they’re weird at some personal level, as they do awesome work and never do mean shit or talk down to people in public or game channels or on game interactions. I find there’s also a hell lot more diversity in who learns to code games or websites/wikis and the like now than there was in the 90s and some of the old fogeys have mellowed. Many mushers now can also afford the $10/mo or whatever and plenty of people would pitch in. We’re not all kids at home or starving 20s anymore. So it’s just not a guarantee that a gamerunner will forgive your bad behavior. Eventually.

            I’ve never been more confused by how events escalated.

            X: “Haha, Kithkin, am I right?”

            Y: “Hey, don’t badmouth Kithkin.”

            Z: “Uh oh, I think he’s going nuclear!”

            Y: “Oh yes, I’m going nuclear!”

            How.

              @Jumpscare oh dear, it wasn’t about that joke (lame as that joke was). This is your classic example of intense insecurity coupled with entitlement. Very clearly polk felt threatened by thenomain for awhile and this was just what caused him to lose it.

                Thanks, I can see what you mean. Sundance’s escalation of assuming Polk was going nuclear was so confusing, followed by even more confusion with Polk then confirmed he was going nuclear. It was almost like they were speaking in a foreign language, what with the amount of baggage that must have predicated that conversation.

                        I just got on MuHaven and I’m a bit lost. I was told Polk was talking there and I can’t find anywhere he’s spoken.

                        Can anyone point me in the right direction, if there is a right direction?

                          Flips out and rage quits that Discord server for his friend not being able to make a transphobic ‘joke’ that multiple people were offended by.

                          Flips out and rage quits Liberation for someone he dislikes making a very clearly sarcastic unoffensive joke about kinfolk.

                          Is this dude for real?

                            I’ve known Theno for a very long time. We don’t get along overly well, but I trust him to be professional about the important stuff.

                            He’s many things, but he ain’t Polk.

                              @Evilgrayson I mean, Theno got kicked off of MSB staff back in the day for abusing his access to private user information. I wouldn’t trust him with important stuff.

                              Although I do think he gets a ton of mileage from being “the WoD code guy” and agree that he’d be less likely to do this specific thing Polk did, if only for the sake of his reputation.

                                disagree it wasn’t an offensive joke. It was backwards and deeply unfunny, which is the most offensive thing a joke can be.

                                    I think he stopped worrying about people seeing his hypocrisy a long time ago. Values and integrity aren’t worth nearly as much as weaponizing outrage. It seemed like he’s been waiting to use something to try to take Theno down a peg and he wasn’t really getting anything. So he grasped for the first thing that seemed to be viable.

                                    He took his shot at Theno and missed. I guess weaponized outrage doesn’t have the accuracy or damage that it used to. The stats on that might need to be updated in errata.

                                      @Roz The times I’ve interacted with Theno as staff in the past, there were occasional ironic jokes and some sarcasm, but that kind of thing doesn’t bother me. No bad interactions on the level of what we saw recently.

                                      It’s surprising to me and somewhat alarming that they would misuse player info though. What happened? I thought Theno is the one that started/owned MSB back in the day after the WORA days.

                                        What’s the issue with him?
